Josh GriffinMore PostsThe Global Shoes ProjectSpent a few minutes tonight working on a Global Soles promo video to raise awareness for a huge shoe drive we’re starting in a couple of weeks. Our goal is 50,000 pairs of shoes (does that sound crazy to anyone else?) by summer for the opening of the Student Zone. Exciting!

Hey thats awesome!! We do something similar here in Miami to take to children in Haiti!! Hey pray and watch God, bring those shoes in!! The video is awesome, just one suggestion, make the time on the writings just a little longer. Im 25, and Im a great reader, but for those up in age, it might be too fast, and you will probably get most of your shoes from those up in age
.Good stuff!! I read your blog everyday and listen to the podcast! You guys rock! Doug and Friends!!
Josh — could my youth group send you shoes to help you reach your goal? I’d love to get my students involved!
The promo is great.
HEY JOSH!
I would love for my teens to help in this project. Would we be able to team together? Send me a few details and I will be happy to promote. This is an awesome thing you are doing!

Josh I would love for our students to get involved with this project as well. Let me know if it would be ok for us to promote it within our Student Ministry and send them your way. I think the video is awesome by the way, great job.

Josh–should these be the shoes from the kids own feet? (used or new?) Our middle school group would be into this. Do you need kids shoes? Adult Shoes? Is this a Saddleback project, or is it part of something else too? This is an awesome effort, great job on the video! Seriously–if you need help with bringing in shoes, you know so many youth groups around the country will pitch in. Our group would love to know they were among many other youth groups helping out. Let us know!
Josh-
Great idea! I love the old school Phil Collins!
One question, what program do you use to make your videos? Just curious. Thanks.
LETS DO IT!
Can we send shoes?
New or Use?
Kids and Adults?
Great vid.
Makes a good teaser. Are you planning to do followup vids?
and… PERFECT song choice. I love me some Phil Collins!
I’m sharing this on my blog.

What a fantastic idea! I’m going to post it on my blog and bring it up at the next Christian Education planning meeting — maybe we can join you in reaching your goal.
FYI – I finally started the contest on my blog today. Be sure to stop by to check it out. I may try to rope you into helping me judge the captions…
Blessings, friend!
We’re still figuring this all out – if you want, you can email Danny Sells, who is in charge of the initiative, and ask him.
